Also have fun dissassembling the engine cradle just to change your alternator.. Chris scrapped that car, the DOHC never ran or was mounted propperly to my knowledge. I don't think the other guys ever ran either. ok i think ill just bore and hone out the 3.1 and go from there thanks everyone for the advice

After reading thru this thread, i've made up my mind (not an easy task for me 'just letting it out to the world'), I'm NOT going to go with the 3.4 DOHC as intended, I'm gonna go with the 3400 instead....or bigger, Just not the 3.4 DOHC _________________
